The Sultan of Suave, Fred Astaire (WSJ.com)

I was raised on a strict diet of Fred Astaire movies along with the Disney movies from age ?? - 10. We had every Astaire movie on VHS and my sisters and I would watch them endlessly and at every opportunity.

I always loved “Puttin On the Ritz” and I think between the three of us, we could probably give you lines from every movie.

There are currently two new Astaire biographies out there - both are on my list of “must reads”.
